First order of business is a heart update! On Monday, Stevie had a cardiology appointment. His heart history is kind of a lot. There are plenty of posts dedicated to it: like this one, this one, and this one. It was such a major part of our lives his first few years. For now, we…
Stop number two on our local thrifting expedition! This one is called American Way and it’s about 2 blocks from the PlayClothes Vintage, which was the first location on our tour. LOCATION: 3226 W Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91505 HOURS // Everyday: 9am-6pm When I think of secondhand shopping, this is definitely the type of…
My first stop in this secondhand shopping series was the much raved about Playclothes, just a few blocks from my house. LOCATION: 3100 W Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91505 HOURS // M-Sat: 11am-6pm, Sun: 12pm-5:30pm Oh. My. God. I can’t believe I’ve lived in Burbank for 12 years and it’s taken me this long…
One thing I love about Instagram is the connections I’ve made with like-minded women. There are so many people who I can turn to for advice or camaraderie — from special needs mamas to capsule wardrobe gurus. So I was very excited when Lo of The Capsule Closet emailed me and asked if I’d be…
I can’t believe it’s been 3 months since my cousins from Finland came to visit! When I take an unplanned blogging hiatus, I really go for it, eh. But yes! They came and went and even got married since we saw them last! And I had purple hair for like a minute. My mom came…
Maaaan, we’ve already been in our new house for a whole year!! Well, I should be careful to call it new, since it was built in 1929, but it’s certainly new to us! In some ways, it seems like we’ve been here forever. Like where else could we have been? And in other ways, it…
Here’s the deal, guys. I’m not like into art. I don’t even know what this particular art installation is called. The worst. But here’s the thing: I like seeing new, unique things. I like participating in whatever thing is all the rage (to an extent). And, most importantly, at the top of my list, is…
Today…? Today, I think I should find a way to decompress. My inner introvert is screaming for some alone time. This last week, I was aiming for mother-slash-aunt of the year, and (besides one unnecessary outburst after calmly asking Stevie to go get his underwear 45 times and he still hadn’t done it) I feel like I came pretty close…
Today was one of those days where I actually had a plan. And of course nothing went accordingly! I was supposed to go to Irvine and drop off my camera for servicing. I figured while we were down there in the OC, we might as well pop into Downtown Disney for lunch and a tram…
The Petersen Automotive Museum has always been on my radar, for obvious reasons. But it seemed that every time I tried to take the car-loving Stevie, the place would be closed. It looked like just a hole in the wall, and was right across the street from LACMA, so I was never heartbroken – it was no…
